PEEBLES, John William, III - Entered into rest May 4, 2005. Born January 15, 1964 in Bradford, PA. John was much loved by his family: his father Jack (deceased), his mother Joan, his sister Kelly, his aunt Jeannie, his uncle Raymond, his aunt Cindy, nieces Lindsay and Katherine, his aunts Jill, Lynn, and Sandy and his grandparents Jack and Virginia Peebles of Bradford, PA. He leaves behind many friends and business associates who will miss him more than he could have imagined. John will be remembered for his quick wit and sense of humor. His smile lit up a room and his laugh was infectious. He was a truly unique and dynamic individual: the funniest person in the world, a die-hard Yankee fan, an avid golfer, master of ceremonies, the king of charades, the ultimate authority on all trivia, DJ extraordinaire, and most of all a loyal friend. He left us all wondering, was he was businessman masquerading as an entertainer, or an entertainer dabbling in the business world? John attended Alfred University, where he was president of his fraternity, and he graduated from SUNY, in Rochester, New York. John lived and worked in the Bay area for the past 20 years where he excelled in technology sales and management for Future Electronics, Marshall Industries (now Avnet), Cisco, and most recently for Paragon Technical, Inc. John was very well respected and well liked in the Silicon Valley business community. John was also and avid reader, and he loved Kurt Vonnegut. In "The Sirens of Titan" Vonnegut wrote, "A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved." John William Peebles III certainly showed us all how that should be done. Services will be held at DARLING FISCHER, Campbell Memorial Chapel: 231 E. Campbell Ave 5:00PM, May 13th. Reception immediately following at La Hacienda Restaurant: 18840 Saratoga-Los Gatos Road (Hwy 9), Los Gatos, CA.
